USA Rugby has announced the introduction of an “open” gender division to allow trans athletes to compete in sanctioned events. This decision follows a year after the implementation of Donald Trump’s executive order aimed at keeping biological males out of women’s sports. Under the new policy, athletes can select their gender during registration, with USA Rugby retaining the authority to verify claims for participation in women’s competitions. The move aligns with recent updates from the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee regarding gender policies.
